Arsenal and Spurs on alert as Lille star admits future up in the air

Posted Wednesday, October 05, 2011 by Talksport.co.uk

Arsenal and Tottenham target Moussa Sow claims he is unsure where his future lies beyond the end of the current season, with contract negotiations seemingly at a standstill.

The Lille striker was one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe in the summer but his club held firm and managed to keep him in France despite interest from both north London clubs as well as Newcastle.

Sow was the top scorer in France last season, netting 25 goals, which led to numerous enquiries regarding the 25-year-old's availability.

Lille held firm and rebuffed the interest but Arsenal and Tottenham remain keen on the Senegal international, who has scored five goals in 12 appearances for his country.

Lille want to extend Sow's contract but it appears the striker is mulling over a move elsewhere, with his current contract up in 2013.

And now Sow admits his future is far from certain. He said: "Now in my head I do not know what will happen at the end of the season.

"I honestly can not tell if I am going to go or stay. "[On contract negotiations] this worries me. As things stand I am the type of player who wants to talk on the pitch."
